Burnt Money (Plata Quemada) is based on a true story that is legend in Argentinean crime history. Dark and brooding, yet stylish and sensual, the film is the mesmerizing, unnerving story of a group of violent bank robbers, two of whom are gay lovers known in criminal circles as the twins. After a big robbery ends in a bloody shootout, the trio hides in Uruguay, where shimmering tensions escalate into a fiery climax worthy of a John Woo thriller. (official distributor synopsis)
